"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!


Meanwhile On Grad


Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

That reeks of neckbeardism.

Thanks for this. I'm brand new to Lemmy in general. So I saw the notice they were cut off but wasn't sure if I ended up on the correct side of the divide.

I did. I very much did.

I mean... pretty expected. Funny how so many seems to think Palestine = Gaza.

Yes, Gaza is part of Palestine. But there is more to palestine than just Gaza. Israel is not at war with Palestine (officially). They're at war with Hamas. Which have been governing Gaza kind of like a city state for quite some time now.

Also, regardless of what you think about the situation. I think you'd have to be pretty optimistic, if you don't think this will end with Gaza being reduced to rubble.

I'm optimistic only 95% of gaza will be reduced to rubble myself.

They're not wrong. Not because of 'scary tankies' (lmao), but as soon as the piracy communities were banned, with no specific piracy concerns to blame, it was clear .world was to be heavily censored moving forward. And I totally understand and empathise with their reasons for doing it. It just doesn't matter to me as a user - you either provide a platform for all the content I want, or you don't.

YES!!! .world being based as usual. And to see that person having such an insecure meltdown over a network of linked forums that nobody posts on is just so pathetic. And LOL at the 500 Palestine flags, further proving that their celebration of Israeli kids lying dead in their country’s southwest is what sunk them. Did a Jew fuck that lemmygrad OP’s girlfriend once?
